Nikwax Tent & Gear Solarwash + Solarproof Spray On - Twin Pack Features:

  • Two-Part System:
    Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash:
    This high-performance cleaner removes dirt, grime, and UV-degrading residues from your tent, gear, and clothing. It works by lifting out dirt particles without damaging the water-repellent finish (DWR) of your fabrics.
    Nikwax Tent & Gear Solarproof Spray-On: This water-based waterproofing treatment re-activates and enhances the DWR of your tent, gear, and clothing. It creates a durable barrier that repels water, keeping you dry and your gear protected from the elements.
  • Maximized Performance: By cleaning with SolarWash and then applying Solarproof, you ensure optimal performance of your gear. Clean fabrics allow the waterproofing treatment to bond more effectively, resulting in superior water repellency and breathability.
  • Durable Water Repellency (DWR): Solarproof adds maximum water repellency to your fabrics, as tested to the highest industry standards. This translates to water beading up on the surface and rolling off, keeping you and your gear dry in wet conditions.
  • UV Protection: Both SolarWash and Solarproof offer Ultraviolet (UV) protection. SolarWash helps remove UV-degrading residues, while Solarproof helps inhibit the breakdown of fabric fibers caused by UV rays, extending the lifespan of your gear.
  • Easy to Use: Both products are formulated for easy application. SolarWash can be used in a washing machine or for handwashing, while Solarproof is a spray-on treatment.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Nikwax products are water-based, PFC-free, and non-flammable. This makes them a more eco-friendly choice for cleaning and waterproofing your outdoor gear.
